I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Dremel or wire snips, like the type electricians use -- I used to groom a MONSTEROUS English Mastiff named Gus who was WELL over 200 pounds and regular nail clippers couldn't even "tip" his nails. The owner brought in his own wire snips for me to borrow. Gus didn't like Daddy trimming his nails but he was okay with me.

If you do go for the wire snips be VERY careful -- there are no guards on them and they are very sharp. Also, look for ones that are straight, not curved, on the cutting part.

Never make someone a priority in your life when that someone treats you like an option.

Wire snips are a good idea if you can use them safely. I gave up on doing Moses' nails with trimmers because even with two hands squeezing it's almost impossible to cut through them, so I feel your frustration.

These were purchased from the Snap-On truck that delivers to my shop. Fortunately I don't need to use them to trim Baku's nails (I use a fingernail clipper that we got while in Japan for that).

This is an old set that I use around the house, but they are incredibly sharp and the main cutting section (at the base of the handle) opens very wide. I could probably take the tip of my finger off if I was into that sort of thing.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the picture but it's a rounded surface that you're cutting with, on both sides. It allows a wire, or in this case a nail, to stay where it is and get cut.
